thanx i will always support you on your tours when you do decide to grace us with your prescence i am dedicated!

Thanks, most especially, for great nights at Vegas, Bakersfield, Omaha, Indianapolis, St Louis, Kansas City and Milwaukee. These have been my personal favourites. ...the rest of you can go screw yourselves....

and thank you. I'm waiting and the best are yet to come. My hometown again. Norfolk, VA. and Orlando will be a nice little vacation.

Did you forget your LA fans? Well fuck you then ungrateful bastard, Morrissey!!!! So I take it that you were acting on stage at the Hollywood Bowl.

I'm glad he counted Bakersfield as one of his faves, especially because I was there.

But I thought the Hollywood Bowl was stunning and the best of all the SoCal shows up until Bakersfield. Maybe he just felt the need to recognise the little, out-of-the-way places that don't always get so much attention.

Or maybe because the craft services at the SoCal shows weren't as good as Goldenvoice's ; p! Seriously, Goldenvoice uses a caterer that's really amazing with vegetarian dishes! And when I've been to vip do's hosted by Goldenvoice, they are more generous with the nibblies and bevvies than some other promoters.

I know I enjoy seeing Morrissey at the intimate shows in podunk towns. He usually seems taken aback at the tremendous response that he gets from these neglected nowhere places, even more so when he knows it's really the locals dominating the venue.

I'm looking forward to a couple of small shows on the eastcoast even though I strongly dislike the humid weather on the eastcoast!

Isn't he adorable? We are the ones who have to feel and express gratitude to you, Morrissey. When you come over in a week, I hope they let me lift a sign saying, "Welcome to Boston".

I was lucky enough to be at two of those shows (Indy and KC). I thought they were great, and they changed my wife from a fan into an addict... We'll be going to NYC in a week and a half for a third dose. If only he'd sing Please Please Please... and Lucky Lisp there! Thanks to Morrissey and the band for putting on such great shows. JDY

I love this man.

There's a steakhouse in Parkfield, CA he should consider playing if he likes real intimacy. They cook your meat so rare there you have to sign a release form in case you get trichynosis. Earthquake Capitol of the World!

i can only hope the ghost writer of the ghast site wrote it, if not i demand a double paged retort from johnny marr in the next nme
northerners always had the best way with words
or some did.
too few words there

northern, as in english that is

thank you warburtons, staten island, tupelo, downtown and uptown wherever, the plastic clinic on highway wherever it was, the cop who booked me travelling between that place and the other,shitty comedies, porcelain teeth, bombing that place in the middle east with oil resevoirs,
the state of israel, corporate overtaking of our beloved football clubs..

thanks arent quite enough

dollars are

Milwaukee was great because the crowd (in the front) was so into it and there was no barrier between Morrissey and us. I wonder if that's why he enjoyed the show? We all seemed to know the new songs as well as the old. There were lots of stage invaders (both male and female). I made it on the stage myself for the first time after many years of fruitless attempts.

Are these the ingredients that Morrissey requires for a great show?

Loosely morrissey related - he won the greatest brit award or whatever

Anyway im thick but i implore you to download the clip on parky from last saturday of the liar bird who mimics everything from camera shutters to chain saws..one of the most beautiful clips ive seen in my life--funny and sad
brilliant

...was a great show, thee best Moz show I've been to...so much fun!

Isn't Bakersfield the place where a girl made it on stage and wrapped her legs around Morrissey? I guess he enjoyed it.

So what's Denver then, chopped liver? Maybe if Life Is A Pigsty hadn't killed the show's momentum, then we would have cheered louder, eh? :)

And to you who attended my Los Angeles shows, F U

just because your city wasn't mentioned, it doesn't mean that morrissey didn't like playing there. he simply listed his favorite shows which is too hard for some of you to understand.

great comments morrissey on marr etc, glad you are enjoying the us shows, they dont much seem to appreciate on this site but the feeling with you is mutual me thinks, love you morrissey, clitheroe kid.

That really really made my day. Still smiling. Oh, Mozza, you old charmer you...

Thank you, Morrissey. I knew there was a reason why I love you.

"Very young people, I think, feel pushed around and ridiculed - and are - simply because of their age. The world can seem to be full of officious meddlers who like to tell others what to do - and, as a matter of fact, that's exactly how the world is! So in my voice, I think young people hear someone who understands the routine of being dumped...."

Yes, and people dumping on you and meddling in your affairs doesn't cease when you're older, either. The hope is to start building a strong sense of what is true and right for you and stand your ground.

"The audience doesn't realize this but, I, in effect, come to see them, and my temperament depends on how they react and even how they look…"

The beauty appointment is booked as I speak. Must make note to have clean fingernails.

but you mispelled favorite

What a nice man.

From truetoyou Q&A posted today:

I'm curious as to what makes a concert a good and memorable experience for you. According to you, what do your best shows have in common (if anything)?

Mads Peter
Copenhagen, Denmark

The audience doesn't realize this but, I, in effect, come to see them, and my temperament depends on how they react and even how they look. I sing directly at the audience, and I look right into the audience - few singers do, I've noticed. I am addressing them with each line, and they react - one way or another - as if we are in conversation. Often, because of the light, I can't see people - this is usually at festivals or outdoor amphitheaters and is nobody's fault, but I tend to lose the thread when I'm singing to blackness. Also, if the security at the front are too stroppy and too controlling my anger rises. The shape of the hall, and how the audience are positioned - whether free to move, or shackled to their seats, or being slapped back by security, are all elements that can make or break a night. I'm just there-somewhere-in the gaps.

See how carefully Morrissey avoided the word 'leg' there to describe the past group of gigs in the USA? With one down, and a little while to go before the next kicks off, would it be fair to conclude about the tour that its current position is between the legs?!

We love you Morrissey! Next time play at Buck Owens Crystal Palace. Just come back soon!!

Who is your favorite painter ever?

Sylvester
Ponca City, Oklahoma, USA

I can't say. It isn't something I cared about until recent years. Now I'm completely pulled in, but I can't speak with any authority on the subject.

Sylvester's question is straight forward - a direct question requiring a direct answer i.e. the name of at least one 'favourite' painter whether that is Vincent Van Gogh or Rolf Harris.

But as always simplicity is raised to levels of complexity in Mozza World unheard of in actual reality.

Mr. Morrissey can't answer the question because he's not an 'authority on the subject'. Of course he can only exchange thoughts with chavvy mortals like ourselves and Sylvester, provided he is the 'expert' on the matters for discussion.

This trite remark in italics betrays a breathtaking arrogance!

Morrissey's head is so far up his own arse he can't even see how pompous he comes across at times.

Grow up. You're becoming as much of a troll (or troll-bait, whatever) as he is.

He eats meat? Cool
